Veteran 60 Minutes journalist Liam Bartlett is returning to the airwaves as host of 6PR’s Mornings show.
Promising to “help keep our decision makers honest”, Bartlett will take over the 9am timeslot from journalist Gareth Parker, who is moving to the Breakfast show as Basil Zempilas leaves the station and Steve Mills moves to afternoons.
News Talk 6PR 882 unveiled the new 2021 on-air lineup following recent ratings success, with Zempilas and Mills recording a market share of 11.3 per cent in the key 5am to 9am timeslot, the second highest across all stations behind only Nova 93.7 on 13.9 per cent.
Parker increased his market share to 10.2 per cent to lead the 9am-12pm timeslot on talkback in a positive year for the former print journalist.
